• Bath flanker Pepper injured ankle at Gloucester on Friday

• Bristol’s Van Rensburg advised to rest after two concussions

England’s head coach, Steve Borthwick, said he will be monitoring this weekend’s domestic Prem games with some trepidation. Already he has lost at least two potentially key squad members for the entire autumn period in the form of Guy Pepper and Benhard van Rensburg, with doubts still hanging over his first-choice fly-half, Fin Smith, and fresh injury uncertainty emerging on virtually a daily basis.

Pepper’s involvement always looked improbable from the moment he sustained a nasty-looking ankle injury against Gloucester last Friday. The young Bath flanker will be sidelined for several weeks, as will the Bristol centre Van Rensburg who has been advised to rest and recuperate after two heavy concussions within the past three months.

Apple has acknowledged an inner-display defect affecting a small number of its new $1,999 iPhone Duo foldables after customers reported hearing a crunch while unfolding the device before cracks, lines and other display failures appeared along the crease. Apple is replacing affected phones and investigating the problem.

iFixit believes a failing hinge component may be pressing into and cracking the display rather than the panel itself being defective. Bloomberg reports: Reports of the problem first surfaced on Reddit and other social media sites. Bloomberg News has since independently verified the issue with more than half a dozen customers, who provided photos showing damage to their devices or evidence of their support conversations with Apple. Apple acknowledged the issue in a statement, saying it was "aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units."

"If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement," the Cupertino, California-based company said. Most Duos aren't affected by the problem, and the units that are impacted exhibit the defect quickly, Apple said.

Een arrestatieteam van de politie heeft dinsdagavond in Rotterdam-Delfshaven een 24-jarige man aangehouden. Hij wordt verdacht van betrokkenheid bij een schietincident eerder op de dag. Daarbij raakte niemand gewond.

For more than a decade, Berlin-based artists Lynn Lehmann and Dennis Gärtner, a.k.a. Zebu, have been transforming otherwise mundane walls and surfaces into vivid, geometric paintings. Moving between patterns and representational abstraction, the duo draw on their adjacent work in illustration and graphic design to create eye-popping compositions. Indeed, much of their practice is studio-based, so murals introduce broader possibilities in a variety of settings. “There’s something special about being able to interrupt someone’s everyday routine with an unexpected visual surprise,” the pair says.

Currently, Zebu is experimenting with a more intuitive approach to murals as a complement to their method if planning extensively beforehand. “It’s been a really exciting and surprising experience that has taught us to trust the process more and brought back a lot of the fun of painting.” See more on Zebu’s Instagram.

Autonieuws uit het Duitse Neustadt am Rübenberge: een BMW-bestuurder neemt z'n tijd om een groep mensen aan te rijden. De politie was in de buurt vanwege een algemene verkeerscontrole, vond 3 aanrijdingen wel genoeg en opende het vuur. Vier of vijf gewonden, allen buiten levensgevaar.

Bijzonder verhaal is bijzonder: Duitse dienders zeggen dat de aanrijding waarschijnlijk opzettelijk was. Het predicaat 'waarschijnlijk opzettelijk' behoeft geen criminologiestudie: chauffeur van dienst laveert moeiteloos tussen de R en de D om zoveel mogelijk tikjes uit te delen.

De politie wil voorlopig geen tekst en uitleg geven. Wel is toegegeven dat de verdachten behoren tot grote families die in verband staan met clancriminaliteit. En dat burgers zich daarom geen zorgen hoeven te maken. Alleszins rustgevend, inderdaad. Lekker geschafft wel.

Twintig studenten uit Gaza zouden in september beginnen aan een studie in Nederland. Maar om weg te komen uit Gaza, is hulp nodig van de Nederlandse staat. En die wil hun evacuatie niet faciliteren. „Dit zijn genocide-overlevenden. Dat de overheid zegt: ga nogmaals naar de rechter, dat vind ik heel wrang.”

Asielopvang is een druk bediscussieerd en polariserend onderwerp. Maar niet eerder bracht de koning een bezoek aan een asielzoekerscentrum. In Leersum klinkt applaus, gejuich en de zaghrouta uit tientallen vrouwenkelen.

The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural and intellectual movement of African-American artists in the 1920s and 30s. In 1972, filmmaker William Greaves threw a party in Duke Ellington’s apartment for some surviving members of the movement and recorded the whole thing. The footage sat unused for 50 years until Greaves’ son David picked up the project. The result is the documentary film, Once Upon a Time in Harlem; here’s the trailer.

A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance.

For four hours, this extraordinary group – many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years – reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape.

Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves’ son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance.

William Greaves’ intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive.

It looks fantastic. Once Upon a Time in Harlem currently has a 100% rating (67 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
